      He calls it “the original video” himself, in the description.

      He’s not discussing anything, this is a “react” video, pointing at what’s on screen saying “this” and nodding. Making faces, laughing loudly. It’s the leftist version of Asmongold. He’s not a perceptive analyst giving his take on the world, he’s your buddy who you like to talk shit with. It’s all truism and platitudes.

      It’s slop.

        It’s not at all. It’s obvious you didn’t watch it. The guy goes deep in on topics and looks at counterpoints to discuss the merits of whatever gets brought up.

        You’re just lazy AF 🤣

          I did watch the parts when he talks, (I had already seen the CNBC video)
          It absolutely is a react video. There’s no expertise, no research, it’s all stuff he thought of in the moment. I truly have learned nothing, and it didn’t make me think.

          Youtube is now full to the brim with those mass produced videos. Mostly echo chambers, partisan, and without substance. Little comforting bubbles.

          That’s not to say there aren’t quality opinion based videos being produced, but I feel like they’re getting harder to find.
          I was just watching an analyst of the war in Ukraine I like, Anders Puck Nielsen
